It was such a beautiful morning that I went for a longer walk along the beach and then sat at the seaside cafe with the ladies till 10.30 am.As I drove home I had to smile as someone decided that this was the perfect place to put their cross trainer... Must say it is a amazing view.....

when I got home I played with this quilt getting it ready to put under the machine to quilt.

I needed to stretch for awhile sew I had lunch . Then I went out on the block and planted some bulbs around a few trees and did a bit of raking.....

must say the help wasn't much good. Lacy spread the leaves as quickly as I raked......after dinner and House Rules I did a little quilting....

Thanks Chooky for inviting me to party with you and all the ladies....Will pop over here and see what others have made through the week.....Now for my small finishes for May's OPAM....Thank you Peg and Kris for keeping me on track each month........1..... I finished the last of DDs UFOs . A cute Candle Mat.

and you can see my other finishes in the previous post.6 Toilet Bags and 2 Stitchery Rolls........and now for bed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzHugz Maria

It was sew nice to finally met Tarnyia and also some new friends, Leonie and her Hubby.. Leonie is a cross stitcher and does lovely work. Her Hubby is the quilter..Our friend Julia couldn’t join us this time but we were able to see her award winning beautiful quilt…

Congratulations Julia. Sew many hours of work…Our GTGs are never long enough even though we meet up again for lunch. It would be nice to have a day to sit for chatting and some stitching too.

I only brought home these….

had to buy the pins as I have a few quilts sandwiched and pinned, one for nearly two years.. Must get to it….Sadly I seem to have lost my mojo for sewing sew nothing really inspired me..

I joined Terry in February for the 9 Patch / snowball SAL… would you believe I had actually run out of 2 1/2”squares sew have had to cut more… This quilt will be for hubby and likes them long to use on his chair sew I still have to add a few more rows….I have signed up with Wendy for FNSI and hope to add another row or I may do something different…Don’t forget to pop over to Wendy’s and sign on too for a fun night of stitching.Hugz Maria.

I am sew pleased that I continued with these blocks. In the beginning I didn't really like the needle turn but I was determined to keep going in the SAL.. Now I actually enjoy stitching the blocks and I’m very happy at how they are coming together ..

I did change two of this month’s a little. Just had to give the butterfly fillers and did another square instead of an initial..Hugz Maria .

Last night I got all the essentials organised early ready to stitch along with Cheryll and others for FnwFs…..

First I wanted to make the block for my partner in the Aussie Block Swap. She chose a “Texas Star”…. I didn't realise it would take all night….Lots of reverse sewing and No 1 going in the bin. I finished one BUT I am still not happy..

Sew tonight I decided to join the ladies in the Northern Hemisphere and just do some hand sewing….

Have completed my first block for May in Chooky’s SAL. Sew relaxing and there was a soppy movie on too “Dear John”….

Thank you Cheryll and I will be seeing what others have sewn for FnwFs soon..
